Definitions
- the present invention relates to a system for guiding a vehicle equipped with pneumatic tire steering wheels, comprising a rail and a grooved roller intended to follow the rail, said grooved roller being mounted floating at the end of a directional arm coupled to the pneumatic tire steering wheels of the vehicle intended to follow an unmarked track.
- the directional arm extends parallel to the rail. It is oriented in the direction of movement of the vehicle, when it carries the roller in front of it and is generally completed by a second arm oriented in the direction opposite to the direction of movement of the vehicle, that is to say a support arm which pulls a second guide roller as described in European patent No. 0 062 370 of the applicant.
- the rail according to the invention finds its main application in rail-guided vehicles intended for an unmarked track compatible with normal roads.
- the rail is buried in a rut in a pavement or is placed on the surface of the ground in a clean site.
- a rapid public transport vehicle is already known which is provided with pneumatic lift and self-guided guidance along a predetermined track by means of a grooved roller which follows a rail.
- a grooved roller which follows a rail.
- Such a rail comprises a horizontal rolling table delimited by vertical sides connected to said table by rounding of 2 to 5 mm inherent in the rolling of the rail.
- the guide roller it has a U-shaped groove delimited by the rim of the roller and two studs on either side of the rail.
- the relative speed of each of the contact points of the peg of the roller with respect to the rail varies in proportion to the distance which separates it from the instantaneous center of rotation of the rim of the roller on the running table of the rail.
- the contact points of the roller which have the highest relative speeds and the highest contact pressures on the part of the rail will suffer the most wear and will cause the most noise pollution.
- the present invention aims to remedy the above drawbacks and to avoid a number of other defects linked to the use of an iron-on-iron bearing, in particular the risk of derailment and lack of adhesion.
- it proposes a laminated rail as described in the preamble of claim 1 appended hereto. The aim is achieved when the rail running table includes re-entrant inclined sides.
- the sides of the rail have an angle of inclination ⁇ x relative to the vertical of between 5 and 15 e .
- at least one of the sides has a vertical upper surface portion and an inclined lower surface portion, the two above-mentioned surface portions being separated by a generator parallel to the rail.
- Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a known guide roller carried by a support arm which rests on a known rail;
- - Figure 2 is a vertical section along line II-II 'of Figure 1 of the grooved roller shown in Figure 1;
- FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate a first embodiment of a rail according to the invention
- Figure 1 shows in side elevation, a guide roller 2 mounted floating at the end of a directional arm 3 of a guidance system of a vehicle equipped with pneumatic tire steering wheels intended to follow an unmarked track.
- a lifting device not shown supports the roller 2 on the rail.
- the rail 1 consists of a rolled steel section comprising a flat or curved tread table 4, erected on a core 5 reinforced by a lower sole 6 which overflows on each side of the core 5.
- the roller 2 has a groove 10 in the form of a trough with straight slopes.
- the groove 10 is delimited by the rim of the roller and two vertical studs 21 which run along the sides 20 of the rail, as illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the rail considered to be best suited for guiding a vehicle of the above type was a rail intended for overhead traveling cranes.
- a rail is shown in Figures 3 and 4 together with the grooved roller with which it cooperates. It comprises a horizontal rolling table 4 delimited by vertical sides connected to said table by rounding of 2 to 5 mm in radius.
- the contact points distant from the instantaneous center of rotation i of the rim of the roller on the rolling face of the rail 4 have a relative speed with respect to the high rail.
- the contact points of the roller which have the highest relative speeds and the highest contact pressures on the part of the rail, generate the strongest vibrations and undergo the greatest wear.
- the present invention provides a guide rail, the tread table 4 of which is delimited laterally by re-entrant inclined sides 20.
- the contact zones between the jaws 21 of the roller included in vertical planes and the sides 20 of the rail included in inclined planes are limited to a very narrow contact strip 12 which runs along the lower edge of each rounded 13 which borders each side of the rolling table 4 of the roller.
- the inclination 2 of the lateral inclined sides of the rails with respect to the vertical is for example around 10 °.
- each of the points of this contact strip is less distant from the instantaneous center of rotation i of the rim of the roller on the rolling table of the rail.
- the effectiveness of each of the studs 21 for ensuring the maintenance of the roller on the rail is not modified. Indeed, the friction F of the chin 21 against the side 20 of the rail creates a certain braking force which aligns the roller on the rail by free pivoting of the roller around a vertical axis.
- the pivoting P of the roller brings the rim towards an ideal trajectory along a center line of the rail running table (see Figures 11 and 12).
- the guidance system described above involves only a small clearance of the roller relative to the rail to avoid jamming of said roller.
